Chapter 8 - Issue #8

The next morning Arthur woke up with a jump, with an alarm sounding throughout his room, when he saw where he was, he was filled with fear, seeing nothing of what had happened yesterday was a nightmare, he entered Lonwue seemed like a bath, he took a quick shower and when he went out, looking for clothes in the room, he realized that there were some small black slivers on the wall, arthur pressure and the black sliver split in two, before opening, revealing many sets of clothes, all light brown, getting dressed, he left the room, only to find that the other two doors were still closed, he paid no attention to this and headed down the hall to the dining room, he was hungry, very hungry, yesterday He had not eaten, in addition to wie, the previous 4 days he had spent his time lying on a stretcher, receiving only what was necessary from the intravenous fluid bags

When Arthur arrived at the dining room, he found the sight of several children sitting at tables with numbers, if what he believed was correct, each one was with their respective team, while he looked he saw an open buffet, with a chef behind, he quickly left. headed there, if stomach grupendo for food

The chef simply looked at him before handing him a full plate of food, he simply nodded to the chef and left. to the table with his name, as he walked to his table he could see how the girl he recognized as his teammate came out of the hall, going through the same thing that he did, when he got to the table, he simply sat down and began to eat as if his life depended on it

The girl soon arrived at the table with a tray in her hand.

"Hello, can I sit down?" she said in a low tone as she looked at him

"Of course," Arthur said as he swallowed a piece of bacon.

the nila said nothing while she sat down and began to eat with the same intensity

the other boy entered, Alexander de'soto, this was the boy who was taller than the others, even for his age, and the same boy who pushed the boy who was basically stuck to the ground by his apparently soft touch, picked up a plate and he went directly to the table where sofi and Arthur were eating, he didn't ask if he could sit down, he just did it and started eating, after everyone finished and they started looking at each other's faces, alexander was the first to speak

"I think you all know my name like I do, I just want to tell you that we have to be together" says the boy, he was the oldest, maybe not only of his group, but of all the children present, he was 12 years old and Although he was still considered a child, he already had enough mental maturity to get an idea of where they were and why they were here, so he knew more or less what to say.

"When are we going to get out of here" sofi said with a little fear, looking around, there was a guard in each corner of the dining room

"I don't know, but we'll have to do our best, that woman talked about seeing our parents, maybe that's right" Alexander deviated again, then he looked at Arthur who just shook his head like a nod

"Well children, today is the first day of your training, the first thing will be the group classes in the morning and then the private classes for each team after 10 am, everyone, follow me" said the woman before turning around, all the children had finished eating, so they quickly stood up

Following the woman for about 5 minutes, they found a room with many chairs, and in front of it a blackboard, say no because everything was extremely white and there were no windows, it could have gone through any normal classroom

"In each chair there are the necessary school supplies or for each one, choose a chair and wait for the person in charge of teaching you to come in, I want you here every day at 7 am, if any of you are late, well, I think You know what's wrong with them" said the woman pulling out the same weapon from yesterday

All the boys panicked a bit and some girls even started crying quietly, afraid they would get hurt by this.

The woman did not say anything else and simply left the room, when she left all the children looked at each other and began to murmur, the first person to walk to a chair and sit down was Grace, it was strange, since no one had spoken to her or they had seen her say nothing, she did not show many facial expressions when all this happened, she simply went to sit in the first row of chairs

when grace took the initiative everyone else began to move, the curious ones were the women, since they moved in a group, although they had not spoken, they still felt much more comfortable among people of the same gender, all the girls sat in the left side of the room, the men came later and occupied the positions on the right, 5 minutes passed and seeing as no one arrived, the small groups joined

"Why do you think this happened to us" said one of the children to no one in particular

"I don't know, but I want to get out of here, I need to see my parents" Alexander said this time

"Wait a minute, the scientist who did the tests told me that if we were the best, they would give us more freedom to do things, I guess we can also call our parents" said one of the children with an animal appearance, he looked like a dog , and although it was a very strange sight, none of the children had the time to think about it.

"Are you sure about that?" said one of the girls with hope in her voice

"I suppose, although you shouldn't trust these strangers, they don't remember the pain we had to go through, also now we are mutants, like Cyclops or Colosso, a mutant lived in my neighborhood and was treated very badly by people," said another child They were one of the biggest in the world, when they talked about the pain they had to go through, almost all the children were able to tremble, but when they talked about the mutants, the older ones, who understood a little more, got a little scared, because they knew that not all mutants were treated well

"They're lying" was the first time Grace spoke, although she was in the group of girls, they hadn't spoken to her until now, they all stared at her, with doubtful looks on her face, no one knew what she was talking about. , or who was lying but no one could ask before the door was opened and a lady entered, she was about 40 years old and she was the first person they saw who did not have a white coat or a military suit

"Hello children, I'm Mrs. Cadius, I'm going to teach you about everything you need to know, at least until university" said the woman who had a dark green dress, the woman was fair-skinned, with dark green eyes , and brown hair

"Hello" the younger children said while the older ones didn't answer, a little wary for this different woman

"I am not here to train you or to hurt you, see this space as a safe and quiet place, where we can escape from what is happening to you, and have a time of peace and learning" said the woman, seeing the cautious faces of all the children, the older ones looked at each other before beginning to relax in their chairs

"Very well, now we will start with some presentations, let's go in order of the chairs" said the woman and made the first child in the far right row stand up and say her name, her age and her power

"Mmmmm, Hi my name is Tomas Moore and I'm 11 years old and I can teleport but only if it's a place I've been to before and it's not too far, also I get tired very quickly when I do it and according to the scientist this won't change" said the boy, an interesting power but apparently with many tricks

"Very well, let's continue" said Mrs. Mrs. Cadius, after a while after Arthur's thunder

"My name is Arthur, I'm 10 years old and the woman told me that I have a very good physique" Arthur said and all the children were a bit surprised, he was the first of all the children who was 10 years old, apparently they were a minority, most were 11 with some kids 12

The Mrs. Cadius said to continue until it was Grace's turn.

"My name is Grace Giaiant" the girl said before sitting down again, I didn't say anything else and Mrs. Cadius seemed to understand something and simply nodded.

"Very well, you don't have to share about yourselves if that makes you uncomfortable but remember that I am listening to you" Mrs. Cadius said with the best friendly tone.

After a while, the presentations ended and the teacher gave a brief explanation of what they were going to do at this time, before a bell rang and the door opened.

"Well guys, it seems our time is up, please head with your groups towards the dining room, from there you will be taken to the training rooms, take care" Mrs. Cadius said with a motherly tone in her voice

Some girls did not want to leave since it was the first time they had seen a woman who cared about her, but under the insistence of the teacher, they all left the room.

Mrs. Cadius stayed a little longer in the room, she sighed and said something under her breath before leaving.
